Bagels
The new wave of viral bagels has crashed the scene over the last couple of years. Apollo, Utopia, and Popup Bagels. Popup is known for its smears and recently raised venture capital after going viral. Leon's is the smaller, denser, opinion-having version.
Ess-a-Bagel is the old classic I grew up on. It feels almost under the radar now given everything else.
Popup Bagels
Tribeca bagel shop famous for its pillowy, chewy bagels with creative cream cheese spreads.
Leon's Bagels
Bagels, schmears, coffee & breakfast sandwiches from a no-nonsense take-out window.
